About This Tool
The Ideal Weight Calculator estimates your ideal body weight using four well-known medical formulas: Devine (1974), Robinson (1983), Miller (1983), and Hamwi (1964). Each formula provides a slightly different estimate based on your height and gender.
These formulas were originally developed for pharmaceutical dosing calculations but are now widely used as general health references. The results give you a range rather than a single number, which is a more realistic approach to ideal weight.
Remember that ideal weight varies significantly based on factors like muscle mass, bone density, and body composition. Use these estimates as general guidelines and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
